As horse lovers, we dream of owning the ideal piece of horseflesh. But reality rarely offers the ideal, so typically we’re weighing one positive attribute against another.

So we want to know: If you had to choose, would you rather have a horse with flawless conformation, or one with flawless training?

Please complete the poll below, then check the results of this survey later in the magazine or at the Horse&Rider Gallop Poll Results Page.

[Meanwhile, Bob Avila advises you on what to look for in a prospect when you’re ready to “level up.”]
